Central High School Reviews

I think Central High School is a phenomenal place to attend! This experience has gotten me ready for college and has aided in my success! I am sad to leave, yet so prepared because of the knowledge base I have! Central has a medical program called the Medical Professions Academy! This program is filled with rigorous courses that gave me a college feel in the high school setting! I could not be more prepared and ready for the events coming in my life! Choose Central to get your education!

My Experience at Central High School was amazing. During my time there I look back and see so much growth and development in myself thanks to the staff and teachers that gave me the tools to succeed! My counselors constantly put me in all the proper classes that helped me express myself all while getting the best diploma I could. The only thing that I would like to see change is the size and scope of the school. Honestly I think that Central is one of the best school in the Evansville area.

As a student here at Central High School, I feel like it has prepared me well for college. The teachers are very supportive and helpful if you ever need it. For cleanliness, the school is overall very clean and well kept-up. The culture at Central High School is far more diverse than anywhere I've ever been to. I feel as if mixing cultures is essential to your growth as a person, as it prepares you to work with people from every background.
